Peat free is a good thing
I am down right Passionate about Pittmoss. I very much want to see the container growing industry move towards peat-free soilless mixes. This is very important for the environment. I have been experimenting with Pittmoss for four years and found that mixing the soil conditioner with organic compost, a little pine bark, worm castings and rice hulls for better drainage to be a good mix for growing container stock. The product is light in weight, comes very clean and ready to use. It is a win for the environment in two ways. It keeps peat moss in the ground continuing as the supreme carbon sink it is as well as finding a very viable use for our recyclable paper products keeping them out of landfills. Plus it grows beautiful healthy plants. What's not to love.

Good stuff.
Glad to get a recycled product like Pitt Moss. Seems to hold moisture in my planters the way I want it to. Comes out of the bag pretty lumpy; need to break it up before mixing with other soil elements. Other than that, no problems.

Crazy, this stuff makes plants grow
This is both a great product, and a product that is good for the earth. It is better and cheaper than Peat moss, plus it is made of recycled paper product, instead of digging up a diminishing supply of Peat that is not carbon friendly. Plus, the real thing I like is that it does make plants grow!

Highly recommend for worm bedding
I purchased Pitt Moss for worm bedding based on a recommendation from a YouTube video. The moisture retention in this product is awesome! I did not have to worry about water dripping out of my worm bag, and the worms acclimated quite well. I know I can shred paper and cardboard, but frankly, I do not have time and needed something easier that would not serve as a deterrent to trying vermicomposting. This helps me keep it in the low maintenance range. Returning to buy more to have on hand since it sold out right after I purchased it. Will only use this product as my bedding.

Seems to be adequate
This is the 2nd bag I have bought. While it is still very early to determine how effective the product is, I generally believe it is good to use. I have planted a lot of shrubs this year, so I have been putting one or two handfuls in the bottom of the hole, along with handfuls of alfalfa pellets. There are no bad effects so far, but it is hard to tell if the product is effective.

Great product
I have purchased many, many bags of this product and think it is terrific. I mix it with compost to make a wonderful potting soil, and soil for potting perennials that I have divided. I also mix it with coconut coir for mulch. Rarely, if ever disappointed. Hopefully, in the future the company can figure out a way to dehydrate and compress the product to reduce the plastic packaging, thereby being even more environmentally forward than they already are.

Great sustainable alternative to peat moss
I used Pitt Moss in place of peat moss to make my own potting mix based on the recipe from the book Square Foot Gardening.ù (The recipe calls for equal parts peat, vermiculite, and blended compost.) It seems to have worked well and does a good job of keeping the mix moist. I really like that the product is sustainable (there is a limited supply of peat in the world and it apparently doesn't renew as quickly as it is consumed.) I also like that is made from recycled paper and that it is light weight, so easy to store.

Great soil conditioner
So far I have loved it. I use it as a part of some substrate/soil mixes for terrarium use and it's been great!

Great for a Peat Free Soil Block Mix
I've been trying to find a recipe for a soil block recipe that doesn't contain peat due it's contribution to climate change from CO2 release. I've discovered that equal parts of Coconut Coir, PittMoss and well screened compost with Perlite or vermiculite added for drainage results in a soil block similar to using peat that doesn't crumble and holds moisture well. Very pleased that this product has been developed using locally sourced waste stream material

Review
I give PittMoss potting mix a 5 ⭐️. I recently repotted several of the same plant, and thought I'd run out for the second one. (I found it too late. ?) The second plant has just dirt and it's nearly dead, while the first is spawning it's replacement. I'll be using the good stuff for that one!

Review
I would rate pitmoss 5 stars. I've bought several bags and the plants I planted with pitmoss are thriving much better than the ones without pitmoss. I will never buy a bag of potting soil dirt again.

An excellent growing medium
I use it several different ways but always notice plants look healthier. ...and it's because they have strong roots! Keep it fluffy so roots can explore and benefit from the air spaces.

Best thing ever
I've used this ever since I saw it on Shark Tank and I think it's perfect. For all those negative review - you need to read what this is made off - recycle paper. Off course every now and again you will get a clump of what looks like an old newspaper but that's what it's made off. If helps keep in the moisture, it helps protect a little bit against the squirrels - it's great.

Works like it's supposed to.
I love the fact that this is made from recycled materials. It works exactly like peat moss to hold moisture in the soil and decrease the need for watering. I put a layer at the bottom of my Earth Boxes to wick moisture up from the water reservoir, then mix more into the planting mix. I'm buying this product again. ~ Review orginally posted on Amazon

Great for plants!
Pittmoss is an excellent alternative to peat moss. I like to make my own potting mix, so I use this in place of peat moss and vermiculite or perlite. I mix one part top soil, with three parts compost and two parts Pittmoss for most of my potted plants. It retains moisture well but still allows air to flow to the roots of the plants. At the end of the season, I just put the used mix in my compost pile or right on my raised bed veggie garden before winter.
